Chapter 147
“Nonsense! If you keep slandering our little dev–Ahem, I mean Yvette–I won’t go easy on you!” Gabriel fumed, obviously incensed by Yasmin’s actions.
“You’re angry at me because I spoke the truth. You don’t deserve to be the president of the Pianists Association, seeing the way you’re slandering Yasmin!” Nora shouted.
She grew impudent when she recalled that Yasmin had promised to convince the Murrays to invest in the Spade family business if Nora helped. ruin Gabriel and Yvette’s reputations.
Since Nora had nothing to do with the music industry, she had nothing to lose, even if she crossed Gabriel.
Yasmin was full of glee when she saw Gabriel’s face tuming red. On the surface, she pretended to carry herself with grace.
“Alright now,” she said. “President Thompson, since you couldn’t point out the original song I plagiarized from, this shows that you’re just slandering me.
“If this gets out, it’ll be bad for you. I’ll pretend that it didn’t happen. Please take your seat and continue enjoying my performance.”
The audience started whispering to each other.
“Yasmin Murray is indeed Miss Jubilife. She’s more gracious than anyone else. Even when President Thompson unfairly accused her of plagiarism, she chose to forgive him!”
“Right. She’s too nice. Why would she be considerate of him after he falsely accused her of plagiarism?”
The words of praise made Yasmin’s heart soar with joy. She silently cast a provocative look at Yvette and Gabriel. They couldn’t take her down, and now, she gained the trust of the publ
Infuriated, Gabriel stemly confronted her without a second thought, “Since you show no remorse, I won’t give you a second chance! You plagiarized Mischa Rachmaninoff’s unreleased song–‘Snowdrop!“”
His statement caused a ruckus.
“What? Is he talking about Maestro Rachmaninoff’s unreleased song? No wonder it sounded oddly familiar when Yasmin started playing!” “But why did Maestro Rachmaninoff suddenly decide to release new works after a long retirement?”
“What’s going on? I don’t know who to trust anymore!”
Yasmin let out a cold chuckle when she heard Gabriel’s declaration. He had claimed that it was Mischa Rachmaninoff’s unreleased song when it was just Yvette’s composition.
She thought Gabriel must’ve been an idiot for mistaking Yvette’s works for Mischa Rachmaninoff’s.
“President Thompson, Maestro Rachmaninoff has been retired for many years. Why the sudden decision to release new works? Besides, the maestro is not here to prove that I plagiarized her song!“.
“Who said Maestro Rachmaninoff isn’t here?” Gabriel blurted out and belatedly realized he had exposed Yvette’s identity without her pennission.
He scratched his head sheepishly and flashed an ingratiating smile at Yvette, worried she might be angry with him.
Yvette clicked her tongue, looking slightly helpless and resigned. She thought, “Well, there goes another one of my identities.”
“Oh my god! Is Maestro Rachmaninoff here with us?” “That’s impossible. Why would the maestro be here?”
